The mixture a pure liquid and a solution in long vertical column (i.e, horizontal dimensions lt lt vertical dimensions ) Produce diffusion of solute particles and hence refractive index gradient along the vertical dimesion . A ray of light entering the column I at right angles to the vertical is deviated from its original path. Find the deviated from its original path. Find the deviation in travelling a horizontal distance d lt lt h, the height of the coloumn.
